Beit Zeinab Al Khatoun

Beit Zeinab Al Khatoun is a small but interesting Ottoman-era house with a rooftop affording superb views of the surrounding minaret-studded skyline. The courtyard has a traditional ahwa, much frequented by young Cairenes. The house is on a little piazza at the end of a narrow street behind the Al Azhar Mosque.
